International Dot Day

Does anyone out there celebrate International Dot Day at their school? If you are not familiar, International Dot Day, celebrated on September 15th(ish), is a global event inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot. The day encourages creativity, courage, and collaboration by inviting people of all ages to make their mark and celebrate their unique talents and ideas. It's often observed in schools with art projects and activities that promote self-expression and confidence.I am a huge Peter Reynolds fan, and I celebrate with my different classes with different Dot themed activities each year. One of my favorite activities is the Dot Day Goosechase that I do with my 1st graders. They explore the campus seeking out dots of different colors and sizes. The catch though, they only get points if they capture a dot that no one else did! This encourages creativity and makes for a fun competition. Here is a copy of my Goosechase if you would like to try it out! https://gsch.se/game/875f4d9e7af

Add a mission during an experience?

Hi! We have not completed all of our missions yet but in the meantime, we would like to start the experience and give teams a chance to accomplish a couple pre-event bonus missions. The other missions we are adding are set to start at a certain date and time. If I start the experience, am I still able to add and edit missions?I dont want to open this experience up if it’ll lock me out of creating missions. Thanks!

Mission Difficulty Levels

Is there a way to assign difficulty levels to goosechase missions? I want to have the same mission but at varying difficulties so people can choose based on their ability (age, tech savviness, area that they’re in)  I don’t want to have to create separate scavenger hunts based on level of difficulty.

School Welcome Back Family Goosechase

Hello Folks, We’re hoping to host a weeklong Goosechase in which families in our school would participate. We are a big school, so maybe about 200 families. Has anyone hosted anything like this before? What was your experience like- any challenges, lessons? We’d love to have a complete picture before we jump headlong into this. TIA.

Visibility Automation

I am wondering if it is possible to only allow missions to become visible once the previous automation is completed? For example if I had 5 missions the first mission would be the only one available at the start then when they finish that number 2 becomes available and so on all the way to the end. I can only see a way to make them available at specific times related to the whole experience.Thanks!

Looking for mission ideas for an Easter Egg Hunt!

Hi all! I am hosting a little Easter brunch this weekend and (more importantly) an EASTER EGG HUNT for my friends. We are of course going to use Goosechase! 🥚🐣🐰🍫I have a lot of friends who live in my neighbourhood so we're making little egg-stations on each of their porches or back yards, so a mixture of GPS and photo missions. As well as finding eggs, I am adding some fun bonus missions as opportunities to earn extra points (e.g. snap a photo if you meet a neighbourhood cat along the way). I also want to make them do some silly things, e.g. film a video of themselves hopping like a bunny in the most public place possible.Wondering if anybody has any ideas for other funny missions or side quests I could add in?

Embracing goose chase to develop awareness and promote bike trails.

I ran across Goosechase while watching videos on YouTube last night and my head almost exploded :).  For a couple of years I have been trying to figure out how to get people out on bike trails to get healthy, improve mental health by being outside while building awareness of the many great small businesses on these same bike trails.  And to do this with minimal outside support/volunteers,Right now I am trying to develop a business model to create and sponsor these Getting Dirty with Glenn (a brand I have developed since my wife passed away which includes, gardening, cycling and kayaking, hence the name) Wild Goose Chases.  I have so many questions thanks in advance for bearing with me… My wife passed away in January of 2023 and for the 34 years we were married, cycling on bike trails was a key part of our lives.  Since her passing I have embraced our love for cycling to simply help with my mental health tour this past year…..Those are the Cliff’s Notes of WHY!I want to create Wild Goos

Family Introduction

I am trying to use Goosechase all year to increase family engagement and encourage students to practice/extend their learning outside of the classroom with their families.  Has anyone created a welcome letter to share with parents about using Goosechase?

Multiple entries for each mission

Hi all! Is there a way to make it to where they can make multiple submissions to a mission? For example, if one of my missions is to take a picture of a one syllable word, can they find multiple pictures? Once she submitted one, the mission went away.

Foundational Reading Skills

Hi all! I’m new here and would love any advice or guidance. I am a dyslexia teacher and would love to create scavenger hunts for my students to work on their foundational reading skills. For example, I’d love them to “hunt” for certain syllables or spelling rules, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this? Thanks so much in advance.

Is it possible to make missions visible without making them available?

Hey all!  I want my teams to be able to see the missions before the event goes live so they can plan out their strategies.  Is there a way to make the mission list visible without actually making them available to complete?

Trac phone? compatible

I had a student with a Tracfone phone. His phone said that it wasn’t compatible to download GooseChase. I’ve not seen this before. Are you aware if Tracfone phones are non-compatible? I think they use the Android OS.

Large building wide student GooseChase tips

My librarian and I started talking about a school wide GooseChase to promote the library during National Library week next week. But the more we talked about it the more we’re probably not going to do it with our high schoolers. Some of the holdups/concerns:is there a way to prevent inappropriate names? is there a better way to try to advertise without the game code being put around the community? can you review submissions before they’re posted to the feed?
